Christmas Morning, 1978: Star Wars and Adventure People

The kid fondling the Death Star, as his brothers look on a little enviously, is Stephen Fry. That’s Kenner’s Stretch Octopus in the pink and orange box, and you can also see the Adventure People Daredevil Sports Van, first released in 1978. Fisher-Price’s Adventure People may be the greatest action figure line of all time. There, I said it.

Yeah their Alpha Interceptor things were cool…there were others too, right? I found the FPAP list/guide…the “alien” figure(s) I remember were “Brainoid” and the red dood (#368) from the Alpha Interceptor. Who was Clawtron?

Here is some pics and info on the “Canadian” Death Star. This is the one I had although both versions were available here (Canada was the only country where both were available). I had soooo much fun with this thing.
